5. Yes that is a problem but be honest.

They hide behind their children and women. If they have no qualms about shooting a 14 year old girl at close range then do you believe they have qualms at using them as human shields?

At some point we have to just leave and let these countries deal with their own madmen and in some cases madwomen. Just like we have to deal with our own homegrown terrorists.The problem is then we have people begging America to intervene for humanitarian reasons.

You can't have it both ways. I don't have a problem with our military packing up and leaving these countries completely on their own. It is another reason to support alternative energy. I just don't want to hear any griping later about how their people are suffering under their own fanaticism and we need to intervene. I also don't want to hear complaints when we put serious bans on letting their fanatics from their "camps" immigrate here.

BTW, I agree she truly deserves the prize. I just hope she will one day grow up to realize her own religious beliefs are a big part of the problem. Organized religion and the militarism are closely allied but people refuse to accept that reality.
